Community of Practice on Prevention of Domestic Violence
The UN has described violence against women as a ‘shadow pandemic', having increased significantly since the start of the COVID-19 outbreak. As an alliance of organisations working on the front line with children and families around the world, our first-hand experience has unfortunately shown that this shadow pandemic also applies to children, who can be both directly and indirectly affected by domestic violence.
We believe it’s vital to extend this to consider how domestic violence affects whole families, including children, and this is why we launched this Community of Practice. Join this space to meet and connect with other professionals working with the prevention and response to domestic violence, find and share resources analysing the impact of COVID restrictions on children's care, exchange examples of good practice, and campaign for improved policy and practice for vulnerable women, girls and boys.
